Breakthrough technology is vital for strengthening the UK’s Defence and Homeland Security. As an AI/ML Engineer Consultant at Awerian, you will be at the forefront of this innovation race to defend and protect the UK from the latest technological and cyber threats.

Your work will have a real-world impact. You will get to explore pioneering concepts by collaborating with elite multi-disciplinary teams of highly educated and skilled scientists, engineers, and designers. You’ll see ideas become a reality as you create prototypes through Awerian’s rapid approach to design and implementation. It’s a fantastically challenging, varied, and agile role.

You will tackle diverse, real-world challenges from the ground up using your experience in designing and deploying systems that apply ML to a broad range of tasks, pulling together third-party components, as well as building elements yourself.

Awerian’s wide variety of intriguing projects, from proof-of-concept through to working prototypes, provide both intellectual and practical challenges giving opportunity to flex your problem-solving skills and creativity to devise innovative solutions.

The projects will test your broad exposure to the ML development cycle: data I/O, cleaning and preparation, rapid code prototyping, iterating model designs and deploying and packaging code into client-ready products. The sense of job satisfaction will be tangible as you stretch your knowledge and capabilities into new areas of pioneering research and development.

Requirements

You will have a track record of academic excellence, hold a relevant degree, and have proven technical capabilities. You will need a strong foundation in Python and current ML frameworks and notable experience in a number of the following areas:

• familiarity with popular ML libraries and frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and scikit-learn,
• experience with neural network architectures, deep learning techniques, and building and training deep learning models,
• creating and handling large datasets including pre-processing steps and familiarity with data manipulation libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and data visualization tools such as Matplotlib or Seaborn,
• hands-on experience of building ML solutions for resource-constrained situations and deploying to edge-processing platforms,
• experience with emerging technologies such as GANs, LLMs, RL or XAI.

We are keen to hear from AI/ML engineers with experience in any sector.
